If you decide to cover your bar stool with leather. keep in mind that leather is a natural product made from the skin of cattle. As such. there will be variations in color and texture just as there are variations in texture and color of your own skin. Generally. the more expensive the leather.

Vinyl is prone to tearing. cracking and warping more so than fabric or leather. Synthetic suede fabrics are a much better option if this is a concern. Sun. dry air. excessive heat and cold as well as exposure to certain chemicals or cleaners can also destroy vinyl.

Metal or Wood? This is a good question. If you ask 10 retailers. you`ll get 10 responses. In my opinion. wood bar stools are prone to problems not encountered with welded metal bar stools. Due to the soft nature of wood (when compared to steel). screws and joints tend to come loose over time- especially wood with arms. The constant outward stress on the arms can loosen the attachment points resulting in a loose feel. Legs and stretchers (horizontal support bars) can also become loose over time resulting in an unstable and potentially dangerous bar stool. Still. there are decorating situations in which only wood will work.

Also. there are bar stools with or without backrest. The latest model. one without a backrest is most often encountered in bars. because it is very easy to use. The colours vary. and you can find stools in the most unusual greens. blues or reds. colours that enhance the metal work.

As for a dollar amount. the average higher-quality bar stool should be in the $199 to $349 range regardless of where you shop. Stools with special features such as tilt-swivel mechanisms. real leather seating. casters or custom heights may cost as much as $400 to $600 each. Some designer hand carved wood stools with multi-step finishes can cost $1.000 to $3.000 each.
